AN Adelaide drummer has had his rock star dreams fulfilled after joining international superstars The Killers on stage.

The mystery drummer — known only as Tim to more than 10,000 eager fans who packed out the Adelaide Entertainment Centre — got the attention of lead singer Brandon Flowers by waving a large sign from deep in the audience.

The sign read “drums on reasons?”, referencing the band’s popular song “For Reasons Unknown”, where the band routinely invites members of the audience to try drumming.

After Flowers singled him out, Tim was invited to the stage but told he had better know what he was doing if he was going to take the stage in front of so many hardcore fans.

Tim beat his way through the crowd and joined Flowers on stage.

He bowed to Killers drummer and founding member Ronnie Vannucci Jnr before taking his spot behind the enormous drum kit.

For a glorious four minutes, Tim was given the chance to play with one of the most popular rock bands in the world — and he did a damn fine job. The crowd gave him a mighty roar at the end of the song after he didn’t miss a beat.

Shaking hands with Vannucci and Flowers as he left the stage, Tim looked elated.

Getting band members on stage was only one of Flowers and co’s tricks, with the audience being pelted with confetti, stunned by lasers and witness to one of the best stage shows touring the world.
